The following order to the various
assessors of the territory was issued on
the LIST inst. by Auditor Ward, and is
supposed, il carried out, will add very
considerably to Che assessed valuation
Of the territory.
Assessors, you are hereby instructed
to carefully assess for taxation all real
estate, whether acre property or in
town lots or blocks, belonging to rail-
way. companies i'll this territory, ex-
cepting only from assessment such real
estate as in actual use for railway pur-
poses. The legality of. the gross earn
iings law is very questionable. coming
into direct conflict, as it does. with Sec
ton 1925 of the original act. How
ever this may be, there is no question
but what all property not actually used
for railway purposes is subject to as
sessment the same as the property OF
individuals. 1t is so held in Minnesota
and other states where this law of tax
alton prevails. and is equally broad as
to its provisions. a large increase
in taxable property will be had
by this assessment, as largo quantities
Of land in town lots and blocks, held
solely for sale and speculation, have
heretofore been held free from the bur-
den Of taxation under cover of the gross
earnings law" The Importance of
this matter to the public will no doubt
guarantee a careful and prompt COM
pliance with this request. An instruc-
tions from this Office conflicting with
this are hereby recalled.

We see in the Dawes Co. Journal an
article commenting on the late move
upon the part Of the B. & NJ. in that
section, and it would certainly seem
that if the report has any foundation,
Chadron will be an important point in
the near future. The Journal has it
that the B. & NJ. and the +. E. & NJ. v.
officials will hold a meeting this mo nth
at Chadron for the purpose of forming
an agreement on a junction at
Chadron. This news must be very cheer
ing to Chadron if correct, but like the
Irishman's flea, when you think you
have got it, it is not there.
MI. Crane, a merchant at this place
who has just returned from the end
Of the B. e.. Nj. track informs us
that the road will leave Chadron 45
miles to the northeast and strike Box
Butte county, where the company has
purchased a school section of land and
will locate a town upon the site to be
called Hemmingford and the future
county seat Of Box Butte county.
Now here is a divergence Of opinion
in regard to this all-important matter
and we leave people to draw their in.
ference. The latter course, however.
will, We judge, be the route adopted. S
no better route could be selected by the
company.

however, 1t has beer seen what Hotspur he can

Actresses May Wear Them, Because Excite

II see that some one has been trying to head
off the hue and cry against decollete dresses, said
a well-known theatrical manager, as he toasted
his toes on the steam radiator of his comforta-
BILE office, "by pointing to the low-necked dresses
seen on the stage and the general healthfulness
OF the women that wear them. Now, to people
who know nothing about stage life, that
point would seem to be well taken, The dresses
worn on the stage are usually as thin and scanty
as those worn by society bellies. The exposure
too is always much greater on the stage than at
any ball or party, because the stage Is full of
draughts and chills and is not much better than
big windy barn, anyway. Yet We
never hear of an actress taking cold
from wearing her fimsy costume. however
delicate and fra she may be. It
seems hard to understand why her society
sister should be any more susceptible. don't
know how it is, but there is peculiar excite
ment about going before audience that
takes an actress safely through exposure that
would inevitably kill her anywhere else You
see them coming out of their warm dressing
rooms on cold winter night dressed In their
thin, low-cut. and sleeveless dresses. They
stand about the wings waiting for their cues,
and the keen wind blowing down their backs.
and they SILVER ptifuly in the cold as though
their teeth were going to drop out You wonder
how the poor creatures can get through their
parts.
But the instant they hear their cues there is
kind Of electric thrill run through them and
they step out onto the stage and never feel a
particle of cold. The wind may howl around
them hard enough to blow their wigs off, and it
may be cold enough to freeze the e fiat from
bone solid, but they don't know It, Actresses
have colds and die of consumption. but
they never eaten cold or contract
consumption while they are in their stage cos
tunes know the of promising young
woman of good family, who was playing at a
certain local theater, few years ago. She
often wore decolete dresses on the stage. but
when she married and left her stage career for
society. she was as we'll as any woman in Amer
ica Two three years afterward she
died of pneumonia contracted at q bali where
she had appeared in dress cut no lower than
many she used to wear on the stage. There was
none of that peculiar excitement that had ward
ed off cold when she was acting. however, and
she died from the exposure. You see it won't
